Muddy Days

In attempt to cure our cabin fever and become the coolest mom ever I took the boys out for a play in the mud.  I put Zack in the shoes that are too small and walked them to the construction site 3 doors down.
We decided to let Hunter do some walking...

he didn't exactly walk where we wanted him too...

thankfully he was wearing the jeans that already had a hole...

he loved it...

until he wanted to get in the stroller...

he loved that too...

big brother is so funny.

Zack was focused on the fact that there was mud on the bottom of his shoes and that mommy must be mad...

I'm wondering where he got that from...

I've never been obsessive about keeping things clean...

I like clean things but I want my boys to know how to get down and dirty...

when the time was right...

Zack finally took the plunge and had a blast...

it was a poor example of muddy play...

and I had to almost force him to take that first step...

it was all giggles...

and he paused for a moment when he noticed that he also got mud on his pants...

but he was so proud of himself...

in fact he "needed" to make a few phone calls to tell some important people that he had mud on his shoes...
